        Libs all being EDH players checks out because then they can let someone else win while they try and snatch the win out from under them. Then they can blame someone else for when they still lose. They will deny they play a $5,000 turn 3 format.

            I quit the format because I got fed up with the rules committee and their banlist consisting if whatever they lost to the day before. Prices on cards just shooting up and down based on arbitrary bans/unbans. The format being infested with scrubs drove my spike brain bananas.

              Oh yeah, local banlists are cancer. I got super lucky with a proxy-cool LG as I couldn't afford that shit. I still play Vintage too though; modern and EDH just updated their ban-list actually lmfao.

              I think Urza's Saga got banned from something but I can't quite remember.

                Saga and the new anti-zero CMC artifact just got restricted. Grief was banned in both Modern and Legacy. Nadu ate a ban in Modern.

                I'm so jelly you get to play Vintage on paper. We have a lot of Legacy players in my area, but we mostly play between rounds of Limited or Standard/Modern. It's hard getting people into older formats because they just get intimidated by the sheer amount of decks in those formats.

        This doesn't even make any sense, either. Culturally neither of these people would throw a punch. They'll call code enforcement on him because his fence is too close to the easement or something then when he's tearing it out go over to tell him what a shame it was, what a nice fence, who would call code enforcememnt on such a nice fence?

    Why do they always put themselves so close to these people in their fantasies? JD Vance is your bully? Kamala Harris is your aunt (I'm glad they didn't call her Mom - There are enough sad men out there projecting mother issues onto women) and Tim is your dad?

    They want to be the child of the main character so bad. Too bad they'll be sacrificed on the altar of capitalism like the rest of us.

      I think it's related to the same phenomenon where cult of personality devotees refer to their idols by their first name as if they know them personally.

      Sam Harris' cult did this a while back, and it's common with ELO~N stans as well.

      I think they're unable to empathize or relate to experiences or conditions of others without relating it to themselves in some sort of way so they can process it properly. Would match with the inability to conduct a proper analysis of class.

      These people view media and insert themselves in the narrative as another character. They see themselves as another member of the Fellowship of the Ring, or another cape in the Marvel films like they're Hawkeye's cousin or whatever. It was only a matter of time before it seeped into politics because political media is an edutainment circus at this stage.

          Yes, he's one of the objects of "read theory" for righties and supply-side economists.

          But also the idea that "zero pussy makes you a monster" is rape culture, repeating the idea that you can't be esteemed by others or yourself if you don't have penetrative sex, and that the only way to keep your humanity is to "get pussy (or dick, depending on your sexuality)".
